Membership

The company is governed by a Board of Directors, the majority of whom are elected at general meetings of the company. The board can co-opt additional members. Membership of the company is open to any individual, corporation or body, and the Board may also appoint Life members. As a Not-for-Profit charitable entity, the Directors are very keen to maintain an open and democratic membership as a feature of our company ethos.

Deaf Children Australia welcomes new members. If you have a personal or professional interest in deafness and feel a connection to our strategic purpose, we invite you to join us to help make a difference and shape the future of service provision.

Membership entitles you to:
• Receive a discount on the purchase of our resources
• Attend and vote at our Annual General Meetings

You can work with us in achieving our purpose.
